My albino female weighs 2100 grams and went off feed approximately 8 weeks ago when she first copulated with the male. The have copulated 5 times in that period. The past couple of days she started to swell up, it doesnt show up as well in the pics. I have seen the pics of other ovulations and thought I would get some feedback here.

Not sure on the ovulation but she looks big and healthy! Hope you get a bunch of babies!!!

Well the areas above and below the area pictured are smaller than this area. She used to be uniform in thickness from mid body down. Now she has this visual lump in the bottom third, I will try to post another pic from a different angle. Do they have any visible swelling just before ovulation?

Thanks for the link Jamie. She is definitely in the build. She has the lump and the look of just eating a good meal, but hasnt eaten in awhile. Even though it is not as noticeable in the picture, it is quite noticeable in person.

Awesome!! Can't wait to see some egg pics!

Here is a better shot, shows the lump well. She is officially on "time-out". LOL!! No more disturbing her till we got eggs!!

It definitely looks like a build to me. I would say look for an ovulation in the next 7-14 days. You will know, she will swell twice as big as that.


Congrats,
